Attainable would have bike collection.

Interesting and very relevant posts from Marjay and Chicken Strip.

I do like series and genre's of certain bikes and I think that's why I'd like complete sets of some bikes. It would be great and cost wise realistic to have an MTX, DT125LC, TSX, TSR KDX etc to go with my KMX. Would be nice to have the set and work on them and see how they went about things differently etc.

I'd love a collection of Italian sports bike 125's as that was a race to the moon for many years, and like MX bikes you had to bring out a new bike almost every year to compete.

Other styles of bikes I'd like to have a few of are big Naked muscle bikes. I don't have a favourite between say the ZRX1100, CB1000, and XJR1200 etc. But to have all of them would be interesting to me.

I've left out silly stuff like others are saying. I mean all three GP 500 replica sports bikes, sure it'd be nice to ride them all, but they are so over priced, over hyped and dated it's not worth spending the £25k it might cost to get them. Also if std bikes are your thing, then back in the day a GPZ600R would have probably out handled them and was 10mph slower if that. Those GP bikes are to me only worth anything because of their engines. They are the only relatively available big two stroke lumps ever made, and as such are only worth silly money in my mind for building big two stroke specials with.

I'd never want to collect 750 SP's or homologation specials like the RC30 and OW01, as for a road bike I don't know what they can offer over a VFR and YZF and spare cash to make the brakes and suspension tip top etc.

My dream collection would be:-

Mk1 Bandit 1200
TL1000S
TL1000R
Gen1 Busa
GSX1400

That would make me a happy boy.

I always wanted a GPZ 900r
As for a sensible collection?

I wouldn’t mind getting another RD 250lc, maybe a MZ ts250, and I’ll keep my good old ZX6r.

Of course that would mean getting rid of the Honley RX3 and the Hyosung GT250r .
I think I could live with that, at least spares wouldn’t be such a headache.

Affordable is relative. Could I go out and buy six desirable bikes right now. Probably not. At this point in my life, I'd
sooner collect houses than bikes, I barely get out on the bike I have now. It hasn't seen daylight since JUNE. I missed ALL
of the nice summer. Every single bit of it.

I'll add to that list then of no use. My good reasons are because I waited almost 10months for a trick new exhaust to be made. Then having found out that my engine wasn't using a cylinder as good as OEM spec, and that my exhaust valve wasnt working correctly for a full power engine, meant I decided to re-build it and I've been finding rusty fasteners and other bits I wanted to change anyway.

I've had plenty of parts deliveries since the summer, but not enough Shed time to do all the work.

Its not all bad though, as my time without the bike allowed me to paint, insulate and feed a permanent power feed to my shed, and I've stripped a set of bigger forks down for a re-build and upgrade.
